It's all downhill
10:26am Thursday 13th March 2008
THE plight of freezing Bulgarian children has prompted Devizes man Pete Roberts to strip off and ski in sub zero temperatures.
Mr Roberts, 55, agreed to ski down a mountain in Bulgaria wearing just a thong to raise money for an orphanage in Stoikite where the heating is no longer working.
His wife, Angie, who is the manager of Lloyds Bank in Devizes, has agreed to ski down the mountain in a bunny girl's outfit and other people who have heard of it have pledged to take part wearing unusual outfits.
The ski challenge is due to take place tomorrow in Borovets.
Mr Roberts, a consultant for Toyota, hopes to raise a total of £22,000 to replace the heating system in the orphanage.
